Inseparable Sword is a Greatsword in Elden Ring. It is the choice weapon of D, Hunter of the Dead and staunch believer in Golden Order Fundamentalism. The Inseparable Sword scales primarily with Strength, Dexterity and Faith and is a good Weapon for Faith Builds.
Sword forged by compounding silver and gold. A sacred weapon to hunt Those Who Live in Death.
Deals holy damage.
The inseparable twins found solace in the Golden Order, the only institution not to revile them as accursed beings.
Where to Find Inseparable Sword in Elden Ring
The Inseparable Sword weapon can be found at the following location:
- Prince of Death's Throne, after giving D's brother D's Twinned Armour. You must have killed Lichdragon Fortissax in Fia's Dream and received the Mending Rune of Death. [Map Link]
- Additionally, Fia can be killed here and after resting at a site of grace the sword will appear along with D and Fia's armor sets.
- can be acquired slightly earlier if you kill D when he appears in Limgrave, close to the Summonwater Village Outskirts. Doing this allows you to give his armor to his brother in Siofra Aqueduct and after reloading the area, the brother will be hostile to you. Kill him to get the Inseparable Sword and Twinned Armor back. This does not break Fias questline.
Elden Ring Inseparable Sword Notes & Tips
- Weapon Skill: Sacred Blade
- This weapon cannot be infused with Ashes of War
- Can't be enchanted with Magic nor boosted with Consumables.
- Inseparable Sword can be upgraded by using Somber Smithing Stones
- This weapon, alongside the Banished Knight's Greatsword and Knight's Greatsword features an alternate Greatsword moveset with unique two-handed R1 attacks. This moveset is drawn from Dark Souls 2's Mirrah Greatsword and Dark Souls 3's Hollowslayer Greatsword.
- The Inseparable Sword is the only greatsword that is placed on the hip when sheathed.
- Deals +20% damage to
Undead type enemies and prevents Skeletons from reviving - At 80 Faith has the highest Attack Rating of all Holy Damage dealing Greatswords, if you have not invested in Strength or Dexterity much.
- Since the weapon primarily deals Holy Damage, its viability will drastically change throughout the game. Late game bosses of the base game often strongly resist it, with peaks of 80% Holy Damage Negation.

AnonymousNasty at higher levels when you can pump all 3 stats. Only outdone by Blasphemous Blade in terms of pure AR... But what FTH weapon isn't!?
Still works better to deal with enemies weak to Holy!
AnonymousThis weapon does an innate 20% more damage to undead. It's skill Sacred Blade can be buffed with the other following skills/AoWs: Last Rites, Light, Darkness, Sacred Order. Last Rites, Light and Darkness can be cast from their respective weapon then swapped out and their buffs will still remain. Using all that you can pop a flask of tears using the Bloodsucking tear and Holy tear. Have equipped the Holy Scorpion Charm, Shard of Alexander, and the Ritual Sword Talisman. In your offhand use the Light skill then swap to use the Darkness skill then swap to use the Sacred Order skill. In your main hand use the Last Rites skill then finally swap it to the Inseparable Sword where you use Sacred Blade. With this I one shot both the Death Rite Birds in the snowy region. DLC is about to be a breeze

AnonymousMissed this on my first playthrough but got on ng+ and it’s all I’ve been using in the dlc… absolutely perfect to me. 14fp w carian filigree talisman lets me spam the projectile as well. Just a solid workhorse kind of sword that I seem to mesh with very well, I’m barely taking damage anymore which is a far cry from my first dlc run, sword is a great size, weight and speed and gets the job done with ease.. for me at least

Anonymous
AnonymousProbably the strongest holy weapon smaller than a greataxe for faith builds when at high levels. It gets around 850 ar in my build (22 str 40 dex 80 fai), and that's before sacred blade! But the best thing is its aspect, looks beautiful. Recommend against deadbird

AnonymousIf you kill D early to get his armor and sword, and give it to his brother later, will brother D still kill Fia at the end of her questline? Also, can you still learn D's incantations by doing this? I want to still be able to get Fia's set after killing Fortissax and the only way to do that is to have brother D kill her, since she is in a state unkillable by the player after you kill Fortissax, but brother D can still kill her if you give him the armor after defeating Fortissax.

AnonymousAbsolutely insane to me that this sword is a better Golden Order Greatsword in almost every way. Really highlights how badly that sword was shafted.

AnonymousAbsolutely love this thing! Saved my ass in DLC cause half the stuff there has negative holy resistance (or at least close to 0)

Anonymous
AnonymousDon’t know what people are talking about head shot wise it’s the best against undead bird bosses or undead dragon. The undead dragons in DLC are a joke if using this

Anonymousi can confirm that you can get the sword even if you didnt give D's armor to his twin. just kill fortissax, then go to him and give the set. reload gias area and hell do his speech vs fia again. kill him to get the set back + the sword

AnonymousThis is my divine bastard sword for ER, killing those nightmare creatures and skeletons left and right.

AnonymousThough disappointing, it makes sense why this has no int scaling: D is a fanatic, not a scholar. Where most other fundamentalists study the Golden Order, the D twins run on blind faith, worshipping the Golden Order and obeying its laws without question. Hence the very high fth scaling and no int.

Anonymousfor a weapon wielded by golden order fanatics there is a surprising lack of split int scaling...

AnonymousI don't know why this didn't get sacred order. Like, it wouldn't be an incredible weapon, but it's more fun when killing the undead.

AnonymousAwful range, no unique AoW, and terrible scaling to top it all off.
Could be an awesome weapon for a Str/Fai build but there's realistically no reason to ever use it over KGS. Sad.
Anonymous
This thing absolutely SLAPS in the DLC. So much stuff is weak to Holy and there is a quite a number of Undead mobs including all the dragons. Sacred blade is a solid AoW , i just wish it had an unique follow up on this weapon.

Anonymousshould have had aow sacred blade that looks like glinstone arc, simple recolor, changing a couple of parameters

AnonymousLove cool moveset swords, gotta be one of my favorite genders

AnonymousI know it’s not meta. I know it doesn’t have a unique AoW, and it isn’t very long. But I can’t help that I just love it, and IMO, my character looks hella sexy using it.

Anonymous
This and GOGS should have been int/faith like the rest of the Golden Order stuff

Anonymousthe fact you either have to wait until almost the end of the game or kill D for no reason the first time you meet him to get this weapon makes me sad...

AnonymousCompared to a sacred KGS, it's only slightly stronger while being way shorter. And compared to a sacred BKGS, it's just worse. And to compensate, it has a bonus against undead, as if you can't just equip a dagger with shared order in one of your weapon slots.
From should buff this, it needs help. Considering how short it is and how sheathed it rests on your side, how about giving it the straight sword one-handed R1s and R2s? That would be amazing.
this + golden epitaph + an erdtree seal with barrier of gold (since most undead enemies deal magic damage), order healing, golden vow, and an aoe healing spell = ultimate undead destroyer build
add sacred scorpion, spelldrake talisman, and shard of alexander (or the warrior jar shard if you're impatient and wanna try this build earlier) for maximum effect
also feel free to use other holy incants too, having a shield with carian retaliation is also helpful for undead sorcerers
Anonymous
AnonymousDespite what the scalings would imply, this weapon can actually find a niche on Str/Fai and Dex/Fai as opposed to pure faith.
On my 54 Str/18 Dex/50 Faith character, the AR on this sword is a solid 30 or so higher than a sacred BKGS, and they both have the same amount of holy damage. Using an AR calculator a dex/faith focused split yields similar results.
In PvP, this weapon has a true combo that if buffed with the sword of light, sacred blade (getting off both is fairly easy in a dual) and the two handed talisman, can take upwards of 70% Health from a 60 Vigor opponent. Since this set up is all about combo damage the inseparable sword is actually the better choice here than the banished knights. Also the speed buff to the sweeping R2 is great for this weapon when paired with empty jumps.
Its a shame that such a cool looking weapon got stuck with such an uninspiring AOW, at least this is one of few uninfusuble weapons with no unique skill that justifies its existence on a build.

Anonymousdidn't need to do Fia's whole quest to get it
gave D's bro the armour, beat the gargs, rode the coffin up, get to Fia, beat her simps and then stabbed her. rest at the nearby grace and the sword and the armour is next to where Fia was
Anonymous
AnonymousThis thing's pretty decent. Wish it got A scaling in Faith or maybe just a bit more damage on the AoW... well, you take what you can get. Nice moveset at least!

AnonymousHe just took my armor and vanished, his sign did not appear, help??

AnonymousThe way bullet ashes scale, the arc this shoots should have a scaling multiplier that is >2.5 times better than an infused ash. Un-upgraded base faith scaling on this is .65, while infused single stat ashes use .25

AnonymousThe weapon skill deal less damage to regular enemies compared to the AoW version(with the same upgrade level, Sacred Infusion and Faith stat invesetment) but deal more damage to undead enemies because the 20% innate boost against undead work on weapon skill as well.

I was testing Inseparable Sword against Freyja's Greatsword in Limgrave and found that the beam from Sacred Blade on this thing hits for a bit less than the Sacred Blade AoW applied to other weapons. At 60 Faith and without any boosting talismans, the difference was about 30 less damage compared to Iron Greatsword, Freyja's Greatsword, Noble's Slender Sword (894 vs. 924). Bizarre.
Haven't tested hitting with the blade and beam simultaneously. Maybe that makes up for it—not sure.
AnonymousIf they made the weapon skill chargeable that would set it apart from the sacred blade ash of war, it would get a damage boost from godfrey icon and it would make it more flexible when attacking with the skill.

AnonymousThis is another weapon that has innate skeleton respawn prevention but I can't find this info written anywhere.

AnonymousBeautiful weapon aesthetically and lorewise. I'd love to use it in my str/fai, but man ...why TF that 18 f*ckin dex? This is bs

Anonymous
Anonymous
AnonymousMy fav weapon to use with a shield, just Banished Knight sword looks would be better this is too Sparta. (I guess you can make one using the Sacred Blade AoW but even at 25+ it's probably gonna be quite weaker.)

Anonymous
Anonymous
AnonymousPlease note that the part of this page which states the sword can be acquired if you kill D in Limgrave is FALSE. He drops his armor and bell but not the sword

AnonymousAt 80 faith and base stats the iron greatsword with the holy infusion does more damage and requires less stats.

Anonymous799 AR at base str/dex and 80 FTH.
1031 AR if you add golden vow and holy physik.
1155 if you use your ash of war.
Best greatsword in the game, it does holy damage but it legitimately has such a high attack rating that it doesn't matter, beautiful design, simple but effective ash of war and the superior greatsword move set, what more can you ask?? If Holy is such a turn off just keep a flame art back up weapon or use one of the many non holy damage incantations you can use
AnonymousToo bad holy damage is ass against the later bosses, otherwise would be a good GS

AnonymousI tested sacred blade aow
from this weapon and iron gs. The latter was stronger, but the first one naturally deals 20% against undead.
Anonymous
AnonymousI like it, but seriously, how many somber weapons can come with sacred blade?

Anonymous
AnonymousIf you have below 72 faith just use a banished knight's gs with sacred blade. It will perform better, it has the same moveset and can be obtained way earlier. The only thing you lose is the passive vs undead and style points.

AnonymousFunny that it has two Ds in its scaling, when it has been wielded by 2 Ds

Anonymous
AnonymousI wish this had an ash of war simialr to the DS3 Greatsword of Judgement. Just to make it unique atleast.

AnonymousIf you two-handed this weapon while equipping the Twinned Armor (D's armor), your character change stance or how you hold the weapon. You hold it up higher than usual. It doesn't change the moveset tho.

AnonymousIMO this is one of the few Somber weapons with a generic AoW where it actually works well. It feels great to use, the Holy damage buff suits this weapon really well (in terms of usefulness and appearance) and it fits in with the whole Undead Remover theme. I like it. It's my favorite Faith weapon in the game by far.

AnonymousThere may be better weapons, but I love having a sword that can kill skeletons and **** the first time. Very useful in many situations.

A Sacred Blade Gargoyle's Greatsword largely performs better than this at 80 fth/40 dex? I'm not sure where I'm going wrong with that but oh well

AnonymousThis sword has better faith scaling then one used and made by a god

Anonymous
AnonymousThe fastest way to get this weapon and armor set:
1. Kill D at Limgrave.
2. Kill Radahn.
3. Travel to Siofra Aquaduct
4. Give the armor set to twin
5. Reload area
6. Kill D

Anonymouspop on the holy cracked tear, shard of alexander, holy scorpion, and last rites and youre either 1 or 2 shotting all death/death rite birds in the game

AnonymousThis is what I like to call a utility greatsword, along with sacred relic sword, blasphemous blade and sword of milos. Sure you can main this weapon, but why, just use it to trivialize undead encounters like god intended.

AnonymousThis thing absolutely destroys Death Birds and Death Rite Birds. Combine with Shard of Alexander and you can easily kill the early game birds in 2 head hits and the later ones in 3-4. Don't know the math when further combined with sacred scorpion charm or holy cracked tear but it's probably ridiculous. Auto-take to trivialize any area with skeletons.

Anonymous
AnonymousSo disappointed they gave it a generic Ash of War. Such a beautifully designed weapon deserved better.

The stat requirements are a bit 'ugh'. It's basically a pure faith weapon. The 18 str/dex make it a bit undesireable. You are halfway through making a quality build, while the sword barely benefits from these stats. Another weapon for the 'if you really want very weird looking stat allocation for your build' category. I don't like this.

AnonymousThis is the best faith greatsword. You can get it and upgrade it to +9 before even entering the altus plateu. You will obliterate every enemy with it, even those resistant to holy damage. This is my first faith walkthrough in the game and i must admit that this sword was the main reason i made my first faith build. Looks amazing and hits like a train.

Anonymous
AnonymousI'd be mad that the ash isn't unique but sacred blade is one of my favorites so its a win win

Anonymous
AnonymousFunny that the Golden Order did not treated them as accursed, when all demigod twins where accursed beings

Anonymous
Anonymousso with the AoW buff, i managed to kill the Deathbird in Capital Outskirts in 4 hits, on NG+ (btw, weapon was still just +9 at this point, and i didn't use any buffs other than Sacred Blade). It's kinda nuts for undead enemies

Anonymousyou lack info , if you kill d then gave items to his brother and load the area he will attack you , kill him and you get the blade

AnonymousPeople like giving hard time for Golden Order, but apparently they were still the only institution that accepted D twins.

AnonymousYou do not need to kill Lichdragon Fortissax in order to get it. In fact, I killed Fia in front of Godwyn, gave D's brother the armor set, went back to Godwyn and the sword (& armor) were just lying there to loot.

AnonymousFor some reason, the sword will rest on your waist like a small weapon instead of on your back if you 2-hand another weapon.
As far as I know, it's the only greatsword that does this.
AnonymousDef has become my go-to “I’m about to walk through a cemetery” weapon.

AnonymousPower stance on your holy spec(I swap mine around between fire/holy/lightning) when casting isn't getting through to the heathens. Buff them both, big holy.. "Though are not holier than I!!"

AnonymousYeah people that extensively use this sword should really give a hard look at holy infused omen cleaver with sacred blade aow. (I'm not sure but it's seems to deal almost same amount of damage while also having strong attack chop have insane attack multiplier...) though still best optio to kill skeletons and undead...

Anonymous18 18 60 +10 (with holy scorpion talisman and sacred blade) = over 950dmg!!!

AnonymousThis sword is sheathed on the hip like a straight sword despite being a greatsword.

AnonymousThis thing melts death birds. Even the mf in snowfields goes down quickly from the weapon skill.

AnonymousCan you get the same AR, and 2h moveset with another greatsword like the banished knight greatsword, YES, yes you can.
But the dripppp…
Did some testing and was able to get a higher AR with +25 banished knights greatsword buffed out and flasked than a +10 inseparable and added sword dance ash onto it is making it difficult to go back to the inseparable sword

I had a dream where this sword had the lasers from Euphoria as its skill...And it did 99999999 damage to Morgot. It was a weird dream though.
